Are you set up for peak performance?
(Or are your environment and devices holding you back?)
It takes time, effort, and discipline to keep your environment and devices up to date, secure, and compliant. And some things just won’t wait. Like app updates to address vulnerabilities,
ensuring your new OS can support an important roll-out, or that your OS configuration meets your compliance requirements (without holding productivity to ransom).
It doesn’t have to be hard work – let’s talk
Your operating systems and applications need the same love and attention as your devices. But when your IT team is already thinly stretched, it can be a challenge to do everything.
From making sure your Windows OS isn’t limiting your business opportunities, to managing your application lifecycles, and reinforcing your OS foundations before you build out or upgrade your environment, we can help.
Don’t let deployment and configuration chaos get you down.
Endpoint Focus can help you deploy and configure your OS and applications – so they’re always secure, compliant, and current.

Secure OS configuration
Sometimes it feels like you can’t win. Configuring your Windows operating system or desktop so it’s secure – without making it a nightmare to use – can be challenging.
The problem is that if you’re required to meet external security standards, say, for a defence tender or to comply with stringent cybersecurity requirements in your sector, you’ve got a problem. And without compliance, you could miss out on significant market opportunities like Australian defence (where they’re talking $57.6 billion over the coming decade!).
Recognised frameworks such as the ASD blueprint, the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP), and the CIS (Centre for Internet Security) Critical Security Controls provide practical standards. However, we know from experience that the controls in these frameworks can be operationally restrictive. They can break your applications, impact performance, and make it harder for the service desk to manage your devices.
Equally, ignoring them puts you at risk. Think: missed business opportunities, higher cyber insurance premiums, and unsecured data. That’s a high price to pay for failed compliance.
How can we help?
Endpoint Focus can help pinpoint the cause of the problem. We can roll your operating system back to improve performance, then document the change and the rationale. So, if you’re audited, you can demonstrate you’ve applied best practice when deviating from a security baseline – and balanced usability with risk.

Device management
An old device is often a dangerous device. Especially when it’s running unsupported legacy applications that lack either documentation or in-built auto-update features.
Without auto-updates, it’s all too easy for your team to overlook vulnerable
applications that should be updated to avoid exploitation.
In fact, almost 90% of major companies exposed to actively exploited cyber vulnerabilities remain at risk for six months or more, despite the availability of fixes.
Sound familiar? We can help you transition from legacy to modern device
management – for all of your smartphones, tablets, laptops, POS devices, IoT and medical devices, and more.
By moving you from on-premises tools like SCCM or Configuration Manager to Microsoft Intune, you can enrol and remotely deploy, manage, and secure all organisational and BYOD devices (regardless of whether they’re running Windows, iOS, macOS, Linux, or Android).
With Intune, you’ll enjoy a modern device management solution that enables you to:
- Manage all devices centrally with cloud-based management
- Integrate with existing systems
- Enforce security rules, monitor compliance, and apply consistent setups across all devices
- Install apps, wipe data, or lock or reset lost devices remotely

App deployment
App deployment isn’t a piece of cake – and yet it’s critical to so many. Like the 99% of Australian health organisations that are still dependent on legacy systems, and those government agencies that are currently spending 80% of their IT budgets on maintaining sunset systems.
From managing application rollout, lifecycle management, and version upgrades to integration with deeply rooted legacy systems, application deployment can be a challenge for the time poor. And that’s without accounting for potential outages or downtime, as well as security and compliance issues.
There’s packaging and testing, task allocation, and the tools needed to deliver the apps to your devices. Then, the reports needed to confirm successful installations and usage to support license management.
If you run bespoke or legacy business software, will your vendor’s installer include a hands-free, fully configured installation – or come all bundled into a compatible format for easy installation and removal?
Then, there’s the delivery approach – from installing locally, virtual desktops, Citrix or Workspace environments, and multiple operating systems. Which one will ensure your app works across as many of your platforms as possible?
We know that’s a lot of questions. And a lot of challenges.
Help is at hand. Our app deployment service will manage all your software deployment needs, large and small. And our team has a wealth of packaging experience and can provide fixed per-application pricing (minimum quantity applies).
Contact us to discuss our smooth rollout, modernised system, and full remediation and support.
OS deployment
Time is fleeting. Especially when your team is under the pump to manage the installation, configuration and troubleshooting of a new OS while still managing their day-to-day work responsibilities.
And when you have a large new system rollout, it’s critical that you ensure you’ve optimised your technological foundation first.
So, what sort of problems can you experience if your deployment isn’t correctly configured?
How can we help you save time and minimise errors?
Our range of OS Deployment solutions will ensure your next hardware replacement runs smoothly while significantly reducing wasted time. They’re fast to initiate and complete, can be customised for immediate use, and are fully secure and compliant.
